Fundraising Events

Unique Events Designed to Empower Our Mission

Each year Kara presents our annual spring fundraiser. From sit-down galas to afternoon receptions with live music, auctions, raffles, and celebrated authors, our events are both inspiring and fun and most importantly raise funds to deliver our grief support services.

Featuring award-winning author and speaker Dr. Charles Garfield. He has lectured widely, addressing audiences that include a Clinton White House conference, the U.S. Olympic Committee and Head Coaches of Olympic sports, and the leadership of Oklahoma City following the bombing of that city’s federal building. After four decades of training health professionals and volunteers to sit at the bedsides of the dying, psychologist and Shanti founder Charles Garfield has created an essential guide, Life's Last Gift, for friends and families who want to offer comfort and ease their loved ones' final days. He'll talk about this and more as his warm and authentic presentation style will inspire us all!
